Luchysluxe Jewelry Care Guide
At Luchysluxe, we are committed to providing the highest quality pieces, and we want your jewelry to retain its beauty for years to come. Below are care guidelines for various types of jewelry and gemstones. Proper care ensures longevity and brilliance.
Solid Gold Jewelry (Yellow, White, and Rose Gold)
Care Instructions:
• Cleaning: Soak the jewelry in a solution of mild soap and warm water. Use a soft cloth or a brush with soft bristles to gently clean the piece. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth.
• Do’s:
• Store in a fabric-lined jewelry box or wrap each piece in a soft cloth to avoid scratches.
• Wear regularly; the oils from your skin can help maintain gold’s shine.
• Don’ts:
• Avoid contact with chlorine or bleach, as these chemicals can discolor and weaken gold.
• Don’t use abrasive cleaners or scrub with rough materials, which can scratch gold surfaces.
Sterling Silver
Care Instructions:
• Cleaning: Use a silver polishing cloth to maintain shine. For tarnish, mix baking soda with water to create a paste, apply it gently with a soft cloth, then rinse and dry.
• Do’s:
• Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in an anti-tarnish cloth or bag.
• Wear frequently; contact with the skin’s oils helps slow down tarnishing.
